Hi can someone please help me I have iphone 6 with the iOS 8 my phone kept playing up shutting down apps freezing and comig up and white screen resulting in me having to turn it on and off again constantly to work however my whatsapp was the only app that never used to close down but yesterday it kept coming up for me to type my number in on whatsapp as if I had just downloaded it once I was doing that it wouldn't do anything further but close it down numerous times so I thought if I reinstalled it would work again once I done that I discovered it had downloaded the newest version of whatsapp and had deleted all my chats, status etc I have been trying to solve the issue with apple and whatsapp but been no help I didn't back my phone up on iCloud as my phone is relatively new and hadn't got the chance to connect to wifi to do a backup, is there anyway I can redownload my older version of whatsapp as I hate the new version also is there anyway to get my data back?!
Please help any info would be appreciated. Unless you saved a copy of the older version of WhatsApp, you won't be able to re-install it, sorry. If you synced your iPhone with iTunes on your computer, there's a chance the old version may still be there.
By john. Very helpful. Apple makes it confusing to do this, but it's explained very well here. It's been frustrating not being able to download apps for my iPod Touch 4th gen but your workaround did the trick nicely. Thank you! This article has helped me! I will forever be indebted.
And mind you technology tips never work for me and my gadgets. By Mr. It doesn't work. However, every time I try to sync it I just get the following message: "The app 'iBooks' was not installed. From what you describe, it sounds like you are trying to install the latest version of the iBooks app using iTunes, and that is not what this article is suggesting. The purpose of downloading the app in iTunes is just so you have ownership of the app. Once you do, then the app needs to be downloaded from the App Store on your iPod touch.
It should now ask you if you want to install an older version. Yes, I was trying it in the wrong way, and i don't know how to do it.
Please guide me with more details step by step Please help me out. This doesn't work for me, I'm trying to get Snapchat back, I deleted it the other week too, experienced the same problem but then I got it back I'm not sure how but now I can't install it again? Please help! I really need and want it back, please! I have iPod touch 4th gen. Thank you so, so much! This was reaaally helpful! I thought there was no way to use some apps having other than the latest version of iOS and the latest devices.
Yes, it does work for free apps; price has no bearing on older version availability. Thank you for the information. Your information is still relevant for iTunes version Thanks a Bunch!! Just managed to get a really useful app thanks to you!
The work-around worked like a champ to let me download old version, EXCEPT when I try to open the app, it requires me to upgrade which of course I can't. As mentioned, not all apps offer older versions. Although it did allow you to download an older version, the app developer does not want you to use it for one reason or another and has intentionally bricked it. I wonder if you can help with this: I opened an app on my iPad to find it had automatically updated - and I don't like the new version at all.
I have an old version of an app on my wife's iPad, and it still works fine. When I go into iTunes the app is not in my library so I don't have an old version on iTunes that I can easily download as per this article - but I do have it on the wife's iPad. Is there a way of getting it off hers and onto mine? When I back up her iPad I see the old version on it but it doesn't appear in the iTunes library.
Downloading "not in my library" onlt downloads the new version. That does sound like a tricky situation, but I think we can get it resolved. The first thing you should do is delete any newer copy of the app from your iTunes library, if you have one.
Next, on your wife's iPad which still has the older version of the app, connect it to your computer and open iTunes. This should load the old copy into your iTunes library. If you do not already have a copy of the app on your iPad, you should then be able to do a sync and have the older version downloaded to your iPad.
Hope this works for you. Thanks for the suggestion. It doesn't work I'm afraid. When I try to transfer the purchases from my wife's iPad it does not result in a copy of the app appearing.
The app similarly does not appear in the list of apps that are on my wife's iPad when I connect it up to iTunes - and yet, it does show up in the screen arranging pane, and it IS there on the iPad, as I can use it on her iPad. I don't understand why it doesn't appear and doesn't transfer when it is plainly there. If only I could get it off I understand I could easily load it onto my own iPad. So the solution did not work with my wife's iPad - despite the app being on there it would not transfer when "transferring purchases".
Luckily I also found a copy on a third old iPad and the solution worked perfectly there. Thanks guys! You are welcome! I am not sure why it didn't work on your wife's iPad, but glad you found another iPad to get it working. I seem to be stuck with a similar issue. I can get the app downloaded and I get the message that asks to download an older version.
So I have don this. However, when I open the snapchat app and attempt to login I still get an error message saying that the app is still only available for iOS. It seems that downloading the latest compatible version does not do anything. How do I get around this? I have used the app just a few weeks ago with no problems. Can we download the older version of the voice on stage?
To begin with, do you have an idea why many people want to download older versions of apps? After all, why should you go to the trouble of doing this if you can just download the current version. Now that you have some insights on the importance of this subject, it should be more understandable to you why many people want to download older versions of apps. Unfortunately, a rollback is not possible if you are on Google Play or Apple Store. In short, you will have to use a third-party source.
But before that, you have yet to completely understand how to prepare for the process. These three are the conditions you have to meet before you can learn how to download older versions of apps.
Take note that your device does not allow the installation of apps from unknown sources by default. Such unknown sources include browsers, apps, file manager, and many more. This should allow you to download older versions of apps as you please without worrying about the apps automatically updating themselves.
However, you will still get notifications on whether the updates for such apps is available, though you can simply decline them. The last thing you have to do before you download older versions of apps is to actually uninstall the app in question. This is obviously so that you can install the older version properly without any conflict.
Unfortunately, you will lose the app data upon doing so. On the other hand, you have the option to keep that data by following a certain procedure. This involves ensuring that the data from the current app is saved from the cloud. You can usually do this by going to your Settings , heading to Accounts , then selecting Google. From there, make sure that App Data Sync is enabled.
Once this is done, you will be able to uninstall the app without worrying about anything. Of course, doing that is very easy. You just have to press and hold on an app then send it to the trash. In some devices, you have to click on the X icon after pressing and holding on the screen. Now that you know the three pre-requisites to download older versions of apps , all you have to learn is how to actually do it. Our method involves using a website to download the app.
